Maybe this is what you are already implying, but what about this possible scenario?Someone from Pico moves to Macau, married a local and someone ends up in Vietnam.Doug da Rocha HolmesSacramento, CaliforniaPico & Terceira Genealogist916-550-1618www.dholmes.com Original Message Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Interesting Family Finder Match Didn't Expect This One DNA Never Fails to Surprise! From: A Faria <antoniof1...@gmail.com> Date: Sat, October 25, 2014 4:23 pm To: azores@googlegroups.com Hi Mara,Thanks for your input, I am aware of the role of the Portuguese explorers and the historical connections between Pico and Macau two of the Bishops from Macau were from Pico and also of the trade of Asian slaves in Continental Portugal mostly form China and Southern Japan, during the sixteenth centuries. But I have been unable to find any documentation on Pico or the Azores in general of Asian slaves. I do however remember reading about the island of Madeira of someone owning twelve Asian Indian slaves. Yes actually you did help, I am unaware of connections between Vietnam and Portugal but like you implied it is quite possible someone of mixed Chinese Portuguese ancestry may have moved from Macau to Vietnam.A.Faria -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.

Perhaps someone of Macanese ancestry from Macau moved to Vietnam at some point. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macanese_people -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.

Offering an insight it might be helpful to note the Azores islands, especially Graciosa and Pico were home to many Asian "slaves"/servants/workers. Such DNA finding is no surprise. The Portuguese explorers held good relationships with China (Macau) and were for a long time in Japan. That it end's up being someone from Korea, people travel. I have friends who are Asian descendents from the islands named above. Hope this helps.
